England will conclude their group stage journey this evening as the Three Lions take on Panama, aiming to finish at the top of Group L.

Thomas Tuchel’s side struggled to find their rhythm in the previous match against Ghana, which ended in a goalless draw. Now, at the New York New Jersey Stadium, securing all three points is essential.

ITV's team of presenters, pundits, and reporters have been assigned the task of providing detailed analysis and commentary for this crucial encounter.

The Group L fixture between England and Panama will be held on Saturday, June 27, with the kick-off scheduled for 10 pm (BST).

ITV will handle the live broadcast — but who will be fronting the coverage?

Mark Pougatch will serve as the lead presenter for ITV during the evening’s broadcast.

He will be joined in the studio by England legends Ian Wright and Gary Neville, both of whom will bring their trademark passion and insight to the discussion, reflecting their deep connection with the national team.

Neville earned 85 caps for England and represented the nation in five major tournaments — three European Championships and two World Cups. Wright, meanwhile, collected 33 caps and scored nine goals for England, though injuries prevented him from featuring in a major tournament.

The duo will share the studio with Roy Keane, whose forthright and balanced analysis will provide a contrasting perspective to his colleagues’ enthusiasm.

This trio often collaborates across various platforms, including Sky Sports and their widely followed football podcast and talk show, The Overlap.

During the live action, commentary duties will be led by Sam Matterface, a seasoned broadcaster known for his work with ITV, TNT Sports, and talkSPORT. He is ITV’s regular voice for England fixtures.

Joining him in the commentary box will be former England and Arsenal defender Lee Dixon. The pair have developed a strong on-air partnership, frequently teaming up for international games, ensuring a familiar and engaging experience for viewers.

Completing ITV’s coverage lineup are Karen Carney, Emma Hayes, and reporter Gabriel Clarke, who will deliver in-depth insights and on-the-ground updates throughout the broadcast.
